[edit] Images

I think that some photographs of this locality would make the article page more interesting. Snowman 13:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Annan could do with some as well. --Guinnog 13:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Will try and take some when convenient. Red Sunset 19:58, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of workers

The number of workers needed is different on the HM Factory, Gretna article page. Snowman 14:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

True; the official history mentions that the number of workers on the site exceeded 30,000, however the rest of the paragraph seems to indicate that this number refered to (construction) workers between January 1916 and spring 1916. The other reference, that I used in the factory article, referred to production workers in 1917. I think someone did not read a reference carefully. I suggest you change 30,000 to make it clear that a peak of 30,000 constuction workers were employed in 1916. Pyrotec 21:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I added the {fact} box because I wanted clarification of the statement that workers came from all over the British Commonwealth. It was not the number 30,000 that needed clarification. Pyrotec 22:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
